Lost Time
Anzabi's new project called the vulnerable series is about women and their roles in life and their effect on war.The decaying flower in the middle is a symbol of a life destroyed by war. The women is a symbol for fertility, which emphasises how women are vulnerable in war and even more at risk of being affected by war. The soldiers are confused as to why they are in this war with the people they are against as they know the war in reality is not between the people ,but between authority figures. This is presented through the head of the soldier which has exploded.

My base technique to create artworks is using real life natural events to create artworks with images or words from an imaginary world. Throughout my art I clearly elaborated the disposition (changing the shape of an object), and morphing of objects. I have long been intrigued and fascinated by these concepts.

In my figurative work, my goal is to capture the myriad changing state of the human condition through subtle changes in facial countenance and body language. The end result shows how the inner condition is expressed by the outward form while also conveying a timeless quality to human emotion. In my abstract sculptures, I have recreated the numinous quality of subconsciously shared images, stories, and ceremonial rites. The sculptures, themselves, are composed of abstract forms that are covered with a rich, textured surface. The end result is a complex organic piece that evokes a sense of ancient artefacts, of ritualistic objects from some unknown culture, or of imagined landscapes.
However, my ultimate goal is to have the viewer feel a sense of familiarity with the work...a sense of having experienced this before. I believe this feeling of arises from both the collective unconscious and a mystical centre we all share...
